Hi all, I recently bought an original Baby PloProf and am now looking to add a Omega box but really have no idea what i should be looking at for a very late 70's or early 80's box if anyone can guide me as to what i should be looking for it would be greatly appreciated. I am also looking to add an Omega buckle for the same watch in a 20mm buckle and again don't really have any idea which style this buckle should be so again looking for any guidance. Thanks in advance for any advice or pictures that can be given. Marc
No idea box wise, in terms of buckle what type of strap is it on? Most baby Ploprof's I've seen are either on Omega OEM Mesh bracelet or on Isofrane straps
Hi dsio, I have it on the original Omega Iso at the moment which has an Omega buckle and keepers but that buckle is only suitable for that strap due to its size and the shape of the tongue, I can't decide between a couple of bracelets or a mesh as a second strap but there are other straps that i may wear it on and would like to get an Omega buckle and whilst i like the ones with the raised Omega symbol am not sure if i should be looking at one of those or a more modern one. But as i am looking for a 20mm buckle i think my options may be limited by this anyway. Marc
Yea 20mm buckles that are Omega signed aren't common, most larger strap watches like the Planet Ocean use an Omega deployant clasp, which is an option worth looking at. Other than that, I'd check out the mesh, its excellent and super comfy
Cousinsuk do this style of Omega 20mm buckle for £16, which seems a pretty reasonable price You could try an 1162 bracelet as an alternative to the mesh. Its designed for the MkII Speedmaster but I've seen these on the baby ploprof as its also 20mm and gives a more 'vintage look'
Below you´ll find the box that came with mine in 1984. My SM 120 came with a Speedmaster bracelet. Hope this helps. Regards.
Hi Wolf9827, Many thanks for that at least now i know what i should start hunting for and what it looks like that really has been a great help. dsio Yeah mesh is most probably what i will go for in the end as not a great fan of deployments for this style of watch or the bracelets either. pascs Thanks for the tip to go to Cousins as that is a good solution and price for a buckle, I have been looking at the bracelets but they need to be 22m @ the lugs for the Baby PloProf and are mainly 1162/172 but not really sure i like it which is why i will most probably go Mesh which i think looks much better anyway. Just want to say thanks to all for the advice and knowledge shared here it is appreciated. Marc
